Step 3: Install the Transducer
Proper transducer installation is key to getting the best performance 
from your fishfinder. If the transducer lead is too short, extension 
cables are available from your Garmin dealer. Coil and secure any 
excess cable. 
  CAUtION: DO NOT cut the transducer lead or any part of 
the transducer cable, because cutting the transducer cable voids 
your warranty. The cable cannot be spliced and connected to any 
existing (Garmin or non-Garmin) transducer cables.
The following pages contain tips and basic installation instructions 
for some popular transducers. Detailed installation instructions are 
provided in the transducer kits. Some transducers might have to be 
installed by a professional marine installer.
Assembling the Transducer 
To assemble the transducer:
assemble the transducer:
1.  Insert the rubber washer and plastic spacer into the
transducer at the same time. DO NOT lubricate the rubber
washer.
2.  Route the cable toward the back of the transducer. Slide the
transducer into the transducer mount.
3.  Place a 5 mm flat washer on the 10-32 x 1.75" screw, and
insert the screw through the transducer mount, spacer, and
rubber washer.
4.  Place the remaining 5 mm flat washer on the exposed end.
Install the 10-32 lock nut finger tight. You can tighten the
transducer further after installation on the boat.
